Staying on top of regular cleaning on your site or in your office will help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Below are some practical tips:

• You should have in place regular, scheduled cleaning of your site or office
• Frequently touched areas should also be cleaned regularly with detergent and water, or spray and wipe products – use all products as directed by the instructions provided on the product’s label
• Cleaners should also undertake daily disinfecting after cleaning
• Immediately clean and then disinfect areas that may be exposed to respiratory droplets (ie after someone has coughed) (see below to understand the difference between cleaning and disinfecting)
• When undertaking cleaning and disinfecting, you should:
  • Wear PPE including disposable gloves, surgical mask and eye protection – securely dispose of gloves and mask after each use
  • Avoid touching your face, especially nose, eyes and mouth
  • Wash hands or use alcohol based hand sanitiser before and after wearing gloves and other PPE
• Install touch free appliances (including hand sanitiser stations) where possible
• Discourage sharing of equipment and tools where possible
• Have bins available for disposing of used cleaning products and tissues, and ensure they are being emptied regularly
• When disinfecting surfaces, make sure you use an appropriate antiviral disinfectant solution (such as bleach / chlorine-based disinfectant) as directed by the manufacturer’s instructions
• Ensure that the disinfectant is appropriate for the targeted surface
• Always make up a fresh batch of disinfectant each time
• Wipe down areas and surfaces with disinfectant solution using disposable paper towels / disposable cloth and throw in a bin after use
• Have a contact handy that can provide deep cleaning / decontamination services for your site or office, if required

Regular reminders and communication of these important preventative measures will help to keep everyone safe, prevent the spread of coronavirus and keep construction sites open.
